Big shocker i'm not gonna preorder this.
So i'm gonna have to wait on you guys telling me if its awesome or not. Prototype 2 and some other stuff are all coming out around the same time. I also might import kaizoku musou if it not too pricey.

Ryuji (gun arm guy) is pretty much as strong as kazuya. So i'm sure nothing can kill him and he decided gatling gun arms looked cool, he's really mental.
Here's a tier list i made from the series, based on my knowledge:
Kazuma Kiryu Amon Jo Mine Ryuji Komaki Joji Kazama Saejima Taiga Lau Kau Long Maejima Daigo Nishiki Nair Masa Tanimura Suguichi Futoshi Shimano Saito Akiyama Minami

Deputy Commissioner Seishiro Munakata should be top tier. Also Kido too. Don't forget his "BIG GUNS".

So I have to admit that I wasn't expecting this game to be do much fun. Majima and his sub-stories are hilarious!Â
Some noteworthy changes:
- characters share experience, abilities (max level is 99), partners, items and weapons (except for their personal weapons), etc.
- there are 14 partners (7 are inlocked through sub-stories and the other 7 are the hostesses) who will accompany you whenever you enter the quarantine zone; those partners can be levelled up and trained to learn new abilities. Their weapon can also be upgraded and you can use 3 heat actions with them.Â
- each character has 15 sub-stories ; missions show up as question marks on your map
- there is also a scientist lady who has missions for you; some are character-specific while others are always active (for example, killing 100 enemies with a shotgun). She rewards you with points that you can use to buy stuff from her
- there is also a guy who wants you to explore the underground; the underground is like a maze that changes shape every time you enter and it's filled with all kinds of enemies; it's a perfect place to level up your partners and completing his missions is required for fighting Amon. There is an endless underground mode too.
- there are fewer completion lists; all of the Y4 mini games and foods/drinks are back, there are 7 hostesses and about 30 heat actions and about 90 weapons and armor pieces (there are no lockers this time)
- trophies look pretty easy as well
- there are 3 kinds of enemies: zombies, mutants and experimental zombies (bosses)
- quarantine zone expands and changes as the story progresses. Most of the stores still work, but you have to liberate them.Â

I hope the rumour for tighter controls is true.

To be honest I don't like the controls. At first I was completely helpless and it took me a while to adapt, but I still don't feel that comfortable. Another thing that annoys me is that occasionally the frame rate drops. A LOT. However there is so much going on (way too many enemies, explosions and other stuff), so I suppose it can't be avoided.
The game is great though, so I don't really mind.

Biggest plot twist of the game:
This person is a man.

I was disappointed by the lack of epic dialogue like "STRIP KIDO-CHAN. OH, YOU'VE GOT A BIG GUN" in this, but karaoke makes up for it:
Edit: Oh yeah, and the tentacle monster too:
Hmm, having vids of a loli and a tentacle monster in the same post doesn't feel right...
